  * Class: OpenLayers.Handler.Drag
+ * The drag handler is used to deal with sequences of browser events related
+ *     to dragging.  The handler is used by controls that want to know when
+ *     a drag sequence begins, when a drag is happening, and when it has
+ *     finished.
+ *
+ * Controls that use the drag handler typically construct it with callbacks
+ *     for 'down', 'move', and 'done'.  Callbacks for these keys are called
+ *     when the drag begins, with each move, and when the drag is done.  In
+ *     addition, controls can have callbacks keyed to 'up' and 'out' if they
+ *     care to differentiate between the types of events that correspond with
+ *     the end of a drag sequence.
+ *
+ * Create a new drag handler with the <OpenLayers.Handler.Drag> constructor.
+ *
+ * Inherits from:
+ *  - <OpenLayers.Handler>
